Gunrails - finishing touch

May 24, 2023 by Lukasz Kumanowski

I glued the remaining starboard gunrail during the week so today I planed them down to smooth, uniform surface.

Next steps:

  • bolting gun-rails to frames

  • centerboard case trim

  • fillets in the bilge and flotation tanks

  • sanding of the whole interior 

  • epoxy encapsulation

  • painting

  • sole boards - gluing, bolting

  • quarter knees at the transom

  • mast foot and partners

  • … and other remaining bits & pieces

It feels good to be able to see her sheer line with rails installed. Not as pronounced as on American boats but rather modest and balanced. French style.
